Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is characterized by several key features, including intrusive memories of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders or triggers associated with the trauma, negative changes in mood and cognition, and heightened arousal responses such as hypervigilance or exaggerated startle reactions. Individuals may experience flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbing, which can significantly impair daily functioning. These symptoms often persist for more than a month following the trauma and can vary in intensity. Early intervention and treatment are crucial for effective management.
